Thanks. Hopefully I will hear from them this week. My worries is that if they have lost the passport they may decide to stay quiet and not replying at all to my request to return the passports.sushdmehta wrote:Why not wait until you hear from UKBA regarding whereabouts of your passport(s) ... and first ascertain the fate of your passport(s)?
Sending a new application without any information whether UKBA has your passports or have lost them, and without original LITUK test results, IMHO, you are just inviting another refusal (for one reason or the other, depending on what all the caseworker wants to tick as reason(s) of refusal).
With your appeal appeal allowed, you have legal permission to stay in the UK. No point in acting in haste.
IMHO ....

Thank you Joh118joh118 wrote:About the Biometric Card, I wouln't worry about it, they have all their data on their system and they can verify it themselves.
About the LITUK test, I know it cost £30 or so to take it but i think it will take another couple of weeks to get the original back. Therefore, I would just re-take the test again.
If you really wish to do the whole application yourself, you will need to explain very clearly on a cover letter about your circumstances.
You will need to explain that all previous visa application has been in-time, that you have been outside the UK for less than 18 months over the 10 year period and most importantly, you will need to mention that the period from 30 September 2011 to 15 December 2011 was covered by section 3C. And also perhaps include reasons why you are tied to the UK (eg, settled wife, partner, uk born children, etc)
There is no requirement for the ILR application under long residence to be made in-time. so techinically, you are in no rush.
I suggest you read "2.3.6 Cases where an applicant completes 10 years continuous lawful residence or 14 years continuous residence while awaiting a decision on an application or appeal" in http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary
